Is the Joint Juice settlement still open to claims?

No. The deadline to file a claim was May 18, 2026 for both the New York settlement and the multi-state settlement. That date has passed, so the claim window is now closed and new claims can no longer be submitted.

When will payments be issued?

Both settlements received final court approval in spring 2026 (the New York case on April 30, 2026 and the multi-state case on May 5, 2026). Payments to valid claimants are distributed by the settlement administrator after approval becomes final and any appeal period closes; check the official settlement website for the latest distribution status.

I filed a valid claim. What happens now?

Claimants who filed a valid claim before the deadline do not need to do anything further. The administrator processes claims and issues payments after final approval. Watch for communications from the official settlement administrator and keep your contact and payment details current on the official settlement website.

Joint Juice Settlement Is Now Closed to Claims

The Joint Juice class action settlement is closed. The deadline to file a claim was May 18, 2026, and that date has now passed for both the New York settlement and the multi-state settlement. If you did not file a claim before the deadline, the settlement no longer accepts new claims.

After roughly 12 years of litigation, Premier Nutrition Corporation — the maker of Joint Juice — resolved the coordinated cases for a combined total of about $90 million. The lawsuits alleged that the company falsely advertised its glucosamine and chondroitin beverages as improving joint health without reliable scientific support. Premier Nutrition denied any wrongdoing and the settlements are not an admission of liability.

For the complete background, eligibility rules, payout tiers, and per-state class periods, see our full guide: $90M Joint Juice Class Action Settlement (NY + 8 States).

What Was the Total Settlement Amount?

The litigation ended in two settlements totaling approximately $90 million:

• New York: roughly $19.16 million (Montera v. Premier Nutrition Corporation).
• Multi-state: roughly $70.84 million (Bland v. Premier Nutrition Corporation), covering California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

Eligible consumers who filed a valid claim could receive a payment per qualifying unit purchased, with the first several units claimable without proof of purchase. Final payment amounts depend on the number of valid claims, administrative costs, and court-approved fees, and are allocated on a pro rata basis from each fund.

What Was Joint Juice?

Joint Juice is a dietary supplement drink containing glucosamine and chondroitin, ingredients commonly marketed to support joint health and flexibility. It was sold nationwide in grocery stores, club stores, and online, and was promoted by celebrity athletes. The lawsuits centered on whether those joint-health marketing claims were backed by reliable scientific evidence.

Final Approval and Key Dates

Both settlements reached final court approval in spring 2026:

• New York case (Montera): final approval on April 30, 2026.
• Multi-state case (Bland): final approval on May 5, 2026.
• Claim filing deadline (both settlements): May 18, 2026 — now passed.

I Filed a Claim — What Happens Next?

Class members who submitted a valid claim before the deadline do not need to take any further action. After final approval becomes effective and any appeal period closes, the settlement administrator processes valid claims and distributes payments. Keep your mailing address and payment details current with the administrator through the official settlement website so your payment is not delayed. OpenClassActions.com does not process claims or issue payments.

Can I Still File a Claim?

No. Because the May 18, 2026 deadline has passed, new claims can no longer be submitted for either the New York or the multi-state settlement. If you missed the deadline, there is no longer a way to claim from this settlement. You can still browse currently open settlements on our open settlements page.
